The client engages Wavect, not a referral." image: "https://wavect.io/img/general/bak/open_graph_preview.jpg" --- WAVECT EXPERT NETWORK # Independent specialists. Brought into Wavect projects when their expertise is needed. The two of us cover most builds. When a brief calls for depth our own bench does not carry, we bring in one of these specialists. They are not Wavect employees. They are people we have actually shipped with. The engagement still runs through Wavect. We do not stock interchangeable platform engineers competing for your brief. Each category in the network has exactly one holder. If we do not have your category, we tell you instead of pretending. 08 Live dossiers 100% Inside Wavect SoW 100% Independent ## [Enterprise IT Infrastructure & Security](/experts/dragan-sekerovic/) - **Details:** Innsbruck, AT · Available · Selective mandates Dragan Sekerovic 28 years building and securing enterprise IT infrastructure, from managed services at Data Systems Austria to founding and running oneStep2.

CURATION POLICY **This is not the full network.** It's the public, live cut. Vetted and currently bookable. We keep it short on purpose. One serious miss and the holder is off the list. No second chances. No quiet warnings. BEYOND THE TWO ## Backed by a vetted network of 15+ specialists Two people don't cover every domain. For specialist depth, we pull from a network we've shipped with. Not LinkedIn intros, not marketplaces. ### How we vet 1. **Shipped with us first.** Every specialist worked a paid engagement under our review before going on yours. No first-time bets at your expense. 2. **Reference-checked with prior clients.** If we wouldn't hire them ourselves, we don't bring them to you. 3. **Senior floor: 8+ years post-grad** in their domain, with production work we've personally reviewed. Not a CV claim. 4. **Paid trial on a real slice** of the project before they touch a critical path. Drops out fast if the work doesn't hold. ### When we pull a specialist in 1. **Failure mode is irreversible.** Security, financial, regulatory. Bugs that can't be patched after launch. 2. **Spotting the failure mode takes 5+ years.** ZK proofs, LLM evals, audit-grade cryptography, hardware/firmware, anywhere the wrong answer looks right at first glance. 3. **The architecture decision locks you in for 18+ months.** Worth a second pair of senior eyes before the bet gets made. One contract, one accountable team. Specialists invoice through us. If their work breaks, we own the fix. ## 100% Independent. *0% Referral fee.* **Engaged inside the Wavect SoW. Not a referral.** The two of us cover most builds. When a brief calls for depth our own bench does not carry, we bring in one of these specialists. They are not Wavect employees. They are people we have actually shipped with. The engagement still runs through Wavect. ## Structured Data ```json { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@graph": [ { "@id": "https://wavect.io/#organization", "@type": [ "Organization", "ProfessionalService", "LocalBusiness" ], "employee": [ { "@id": "https://wavect.io/team/kevin-riedl/#person", "@type": "Person", "jobTitle": "Managing Director", "name": "Kevin Riedl", "url": "https://wavect.io/team/kevin-riedl/", "worksFor": { "@id": "https://wavect.io/#organization", "@type": [ "Organization", "ProfessionalService", "LocalBusiness" ] } }, { "@id": "https://wavect.io/team/christof-jori/#person", "@type": "Person", "jobTitle": "Managing Director", "name": "Christof Jori", "url": "https://wavect.io/team/christof-jori/", "worksFor": { "@id": "https://wavect.io/#organization", "@type": [ "Organization", "ProfessionalService", "LocalBusiness" ] } } ], "founder": [ { "@id": "https://wavect.io/team/kevin-riedl/#person", "@type": "Person", "jobTitle": "Managing Director", "name": "Kevin Riedl", "url": "https://wavect.io/team/kevin-riedl/", "worksFor": { "@id": "https://wavect.io/#organization", "@type": [ "Organization", "ProfessionalService", "LocalBusiness" ] } }, { "@id": "https://wavect.io/team/christof-jori/#person", "@type": "Person", "jobTitle": "Managing Director", "name": "Christof Jori", "url": "https://wavect.io/team/christof-jori/", "worksFor": { "@id": "https://wavect.io/#organization", "@type": [ "Organization", "ProfessionalService", "LocalBusiness" ] } } ], "legalRepresentative": [ { "@id": "https://wavect.io/team/kevin-riedl/#person", "@type": "Person", "jobTitle": "Managing Director", "name": "Kevin Riedl", "url": "https://wavect.io/team/kevin-riedl/", "worksFor": { "@id": "https://wavect.io/#organization", "@type": [ "Organization", "ProfessionalService", "LocalBusiness" ] } }, { "@id": "https://wavect.io/team/christof-jori/#person", "@type": "Person", "jobTitle": "Managing Director", "name": "Christof Jori", "url": "https://wavect.io/team/christof-jori/", "worksFor": { "@id": "https://wavect.io/#organization", "@type": [ "Organization", "ProfessionalService", "LocalBusiness" ] } } ], "name": "Wavect GmbH", "subjectOf": { "@id": "https://wavect.io/verified-claims.json#dataset", "@type": "Dataset", "creator": { "@id": "https://wavect.io/#organization", "@type": [ "Organization", "ProfessionalService", "LocalBusiness" ] }, "description": "A machine-readable registry of quantitative and qualitative claims published by Wavect, with review dates, localized page appearances and public third-party citations where available.", "inLanguage": "en", "isAccessibleForFree": true, "license": "https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/", "name": "Wavect verified publication claims", "url": "https://wavect.io/verified-claims.json" }, "url": "https://wavect.io/" }, { "@id": "https://wavect.io/team/kevin-riedl/#person", "@type": "Person", "jobTitle": "Managing Director", "name": "Kevin Riedl", "sameAs": [ "https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q139796365", "https://www.linkedin.com/in/wsdt", "https://github.com/wsdt" ], "url": "https://wavect.io/team/kevin-riedl/", "worksFor": { "@id": "https://wavect.io/#organization", "@type": [ "Organization", "ProfessionalService", "LocalBusiness" ] } }, { "@id": "https://wavect.io/team/christof-jori/#person", "@type": "Person", "jobTitle": "Managing Director", "name": "Christof Jori", "sameAs": [ "https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q139796367", "https://www.linkedin.com/in/jocr77/", "https://github.com/jo-chris" ], "url": "https://wavect.io/team/christof-jori/", "worksFor": { "@id": "https://wavect.io/#organization", "@type": [ "Organization", "ProfessionalService", "LocalBusiness" ] } }, { "@id": "https://wavect.io/#website", "@type": "WebSite", "inLanguage": [ "en", "de", "es", "zh" ], "name": "Wavect", "potentialAction": { "@type": "SearchAction", "query-input": "required name=search_term_string", "target": { "@type": "EntryPoint", "urlTemplate": "https://wavect.io/search/?q={search_term_string}" } }, "publisher": { "@id": "https://wavect.io/#organization", "@type": [ "Organization", "ProfessionalService", "LocalBusiness" ] }, "url": "https://wavect.io/" }, { "@id": "https://wavect.io/experts/#webpage", "@type": "WebPage", "dateModified": "2026-05-22", "inLanguage": "en", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://wavect.io/#website", "@type": "WebSite" }, "lastReviewed": "2026-05-22", "url": "https://wavect.io/experts/" } ] } ``` ```json { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "BreadcrumbList", "itemListElement": [ { "@type": "ListItem", "item": "https://wavect.io/", "name": "Home", "position": 1 }, { "@type": "ListItem", "item": "https://wavect.io/experts/", "name": "Expert Network", "position": 2 } ] } ```
